Wow. SOOO BAD that I enjoyed it! Perhaps the worst movie of all time.


If you like poorly scripted, badly acted, post apocolyptic actions movies, then this hunk of crap is for you! It's all there! The horrendous writing, the shamefull acting, the love interest with the bad dye job and perfectly crimped 80's hair and Patrick Swayze with an amazing mullet worthy of Stryper!

Bad movie legend Brion James even shows up! Lots of dirt, torn up clothing, Mad Max style shante town, it really does have it all. For some reason you keep waiting for Bruce Campbell to do a walk on.

If you are a fan of really bad B movies. You will get a real kick out of this flick.

Actually, there are worse movies out there. Seriously, some crap out there is so bad you get sick watching it...enter Bloodfist starring Don Wilson. By that kind of standard, this really isn't so bad. There's always worse crap than you might think.

If you think this is the worst movie of all time then you need to check out some of the $2.99 DVDs they have in bins at Target, anything with Leprechaun in the title, or anything by Uwe Boll. Every week there's a newly filmed made for TV movie worse than this. At least this one had a plot - guy, guy angry, guy making friends, guy fighting. If you want a crap movie look up Uwe Boll and in particular "Bloodrayne" & "Alone in the Dark". I haven't watched them but my brain needs protection from its own curiosity. Far Cry for God's sake! Far Cry. Constant Vigilance!

The worst film i have ever seen is Lethal Combat. That movie is so bad. Believe me i am a lover of poor cinema and i found it painful to watch it all.

While this movie can be hardly called a cinematic masterpiece by any means, it isn't nearly as bad as some make it out to be. It might be in the B-movie class, but comparing with the trash that has been released over these past few years, especially expensive cinematic refuse, trying to pass for high-class entertainment, this movie is really not that bad!

Can anyone tell me how "Transformers" (1 or 2) is a better movie than this, or "GI Joe" and any other such garbage?! Just because they had expensive FX, CGI and large budgets, it does not make them any better than "Steel Dawn". At least that one was R-rated, bloody and it had cool fights and it did not pretend to be anything else than what it was, a vehicle for Patrick Swayze's rising star at the time!

When I saw this movie some 22 years ago, I was a young lad and for me at the time this was a cool kick ass movie! I have seen it a few years ago, and while I supposse I have a different perspective on it now, I still enjoyed it for what it was meant to be, an action flick!

As others have mentioned here on this thread, there are other far worse and more pretentious pieces of crap outhere mascarading as "serious" movies!

RIP Patrick Swayze!
